Ask HN: Alternatives to GMail?

3 points by yuri41 14y ago ↗ HN

Reports from users keep steadily coming in, where Google decided to trash all their Emails or lock their account.

So I want to migrate to a different email service. Is there a good alternative? It doesn't need to be free, but should've a relatively good Web UI.

I was once at GMX. They insert Advertisements into your emails and offer to less space for the buck.

Why not just set up a desktop email program that polls gMail from time to time to download your emails using POP? That way you have a back-up copy of everything and get to continue to use the best web based email service without worries.
